Exercise 6(a)
I.1. How many 3 digit numbers can be formed from the digits 1,2,3,4 and 5 assuming
that
i. Repetition of the digits is allowed?
ii. Repetition of the digits is not allowed?
Sol:i. When repetition of the digits is allowed,

T H U
Since, there are 5 digits. Therefore, the number of ways to fill each place is 5.
Hence, total number of ways = 5  5  5 = 125.
ii.When repetition is not allowed,

T H U
Since, there are 5 digits i.e., 1,2,3,4 & 5.
Therefore, the number of ways to fill the unit place is 5.
Number of ways to fill the ten’s place = 4
And the number of ways to fill the hundred's place = 3.
Hence, total number of ways = 5  4  3 = 60.
2. How many 3 digits even numbers can be formed from the digits 1,2,3,4,5,6 if the
digits can be repeated?
Sol: For even number we can fill the units place out of the given digits with 2 or 4 or 6.

T H U
The number of ways to fill the unit’s place = 3. Here repetition is allowed.
Therefore, the number of ways to fill the ten’s place = 6 and the number of ways to
fill the hundred’s place = 6

Hence, total number of ways = 3  6  6 = 108

3. How many 4 letters code can be formed using the first 10 letters of the English
alphabet, if no letter can be repeated?

MATHEMATICS
Number of ways to fill the I Place = 10,
Number of ways to fill the II Place = 9,
Number of ways to fill the III place = 8,
Number of ways to fill the IV place = 7
Hence, total number of ways = 10  9  8  7 = 5040
4 How many 5 digit telephone numbers can be constructed using the digits 0 to 9, if
each number starts with 67 and no digit appears more than once?
Sol:

I II III IV V
Number of ways to fill the III place = 8
Number of ways to fill the IV place = 7
Number of ways to fill the V place =6
Hence, total number of ways = 8  7  6 = 336
5. A coin is tossed 3 times and the outcomes are recorded. How many possivle outcomes
are there?
Sol: In tossing a coin, there are 2 possible outcomes (Head & Tail).
In tossing a coin second time there are two possible outcomes and in third time there
again two possible outcomes.
Hence, total number of outcomes = 2  2  2 = 8.
6. Given 5 flags of different colors, how many different signals can be generated, if each
signal requires the use of 2 flags, one below the other.
Sol: Number of ways to choose the first flag = 5

1. If a and b are distinct integers, prove that a – b is a factor of an – bn , whenever n
is a positive integer. [Hint write an = (a – b + b)n and expand]
Sol: Here, an = (a – b + b)n = [(a – b) + b]n
By using Binomial Theorem, the expression [(a – b) + b]n can be expanded as

Now, a – b is a factor of RHS, so, a – b is also a factor of LHS.


Hence, a – b is a factor of an – bn, whenever n is a positive integer.

a3 = a31 -1 = a2 -1 = 2 – 1 = 1 , a4 = a41 -1 = a3 -1 = 1 – 1 = 0, a5 = a51 -1 = a4 -


1= 0 –1 = -1

4. The 4th term of a G. P. is square of its second term, and the first term is -3.
Determine its 7th term .

MATHEMATICS
Sol.: Let a be the first term and r be the common ratio of the G. P. .
∴ a = - 3.
We know that, an = a r n – 1 , ∴ 4
= a r3 = (-3) r3 and a 2 = a r1 = (-3)r

According to the question, [-3) r3 = [ (-3) r]2  -3r3 = 9r2  r = - 3.


Therefore , a7 = a r7 -1 = a r6 = (-3) (-3) 6 = (-3)7 = -2187

Hence, the seventh term of the G. P is -2187.

 2r (r - 2) – (r -2) = 0  (2 r - 1) ( r - 2) = 0  r = 2 or 1
2
When r = 2 from the equation (1) we get a = 8, ar = 16 and ar 2= 32

When r = from the equation (1), we have a = 32 ar = 16 and ar 2= 8

Therefore when r = , the three numbers in G. P are 32, 16 and 8.

Therefore the three required numbers are 8, 16 and 32.

Let the G. P be a, ar, ar2………………
Given condition is T1 + T2 + T3 + …….+ T2n = 5 [ T1 + T2 + T3 + …….+ T2n-1 ]
 T1 + T2 + T3 + …….+ T2n - 5 [ T1 + T3 + …….+ T2n-1 ] = 0

x 1
Sol.: Given that f (x + y) = f(x) f(y) for all x, y  N …………(1)
n
And f(1) = 3 ,  f ( x) =120
x 1
Taking x = y = 1 in (1) we get f (1+ 1) = f (2) = f (1) f (1) = 3 x 3 = 9 = 32
Similarly, f (3) = f (1+ 2) = f (1) f (2) = 3 x 9 = 27 = 3 3
f (4) = f (1+3) = f (1) f (3) = 3 x 27 = 81 = 3 4
∴ f (1), f (2), f (3)….. i.e. 3, 9, 27, ….are in G.P. with common ratio 3.
n
Now  f ( x)  120 
x 1
f (1) + f (2) + f (3) + ………..+ f (n) = 120
 3 + 32 + 33 + ………..+3n = 120
3(3n  1)
  120  3 ( 3n-1) = 240  3n – 1 = 80  3n = 34  n = 4

Hence the value of n is 4.

3. A farmer buys a used tractor for Rs. 12000. He pays Rs. 6000 cash and agrees to pay
the balance in annual installments of Rs. 500 plus 12 % interest on the unpaid amount.
How much will the tractor cost him ?

HANDBOOK 117
MATHEMATICS
Sol.: It is given that the farmer pays Rs.6000 in cash.
Therefore , unpaid amount = Rs.12000 – Rs.6000 = Rs. 6000
Given that, the interest paid annually is 12% of 6000, 12% of 5500,…..
Thus, total interest to be paid = 12% of 6000 + 12 % of 5500 + ….. + 12% of 500
=12% (6000 + 5500 + 5000 + ….. + 500)
= 12% (500 + 1000 + 1500 +….. + 6000)
Now the series 500, 1000, 1500…. 6000 is an AP with the common difference of 500.
Let the number of terms of the A. P be n.
 6000 = 500 + (n -1) 500  1 + (n -1) = 12  n = 12
12
Therefore, the sum of AP = [ 2 x 500 + (12 -1) x 500] =6 [100 + 5500] = 39000.
2
So, total interest to be paid = 12% of (500 + 1000 + 1500 + ……6000)
= 12% of 39000 = Rs. 4680
Therefore, the cost of tractor = Rs. 12000 + Rs. 4680 = Rs.16680.
4. Shamshad Ali buys a scooter for Rs.22000. He pays Rs.4000 cash and agrees to pay
the balance in annual installment of Rs.1000 plus 10% interest on the unpaid amount.
How much will the scooter cost him ?
Sol.: Given that Shamshad Ali buys a scooter for Rs.22000 and pays Rs.4000 in cash.
The Unpaid amount = Rs.22000 - Rs.4000 = Rs.18000.
Given that condition, the interest paid annually is 10% of 18000, 10% of 17000 ….. 10% of
1000
Thus, the total interest to be paid = 10% of 18000 +10% of 17000+ ……... + 10 % of 1000
= 10 % of (1000 + 2000 + 3000 + …… + 18000)
Here 1000, 2000, 3000….. 18000 are in A. P with common difference of 1000.
Let the number of terms be n  18000 = 1000 + (n -1) (1000)  n = 18
18
Sn =1000 + 2000 + …. + 18000 = [ 2 x 1000 + (18-1)1000]
2

= 9 [ 2000 + 17000] = 171000


Total interest paid = 10% of (18000 + 17000 + 16000+ …. 1000)
= 10 % of Rs.171000 = Rs.17100.
Therefore, the cost of scooter = Rs.22000 + Rs.17100 = Rs.39100.

letter and mail to four different persons with instruction that they move the chain
similarly. Assuming that the chain is not broken and that it costs 50 paise to mail one
letter. Find the amount spend on the postage when 8th set of letter is mailed.
Sol. : Let the numbers of letters mailed be in G. P . i.e., 4, 42….. 48.
Here a = 4, r = 4 and n = 8.
a ( r n  1)
We know that the sum of n terms of a G.P.is S n 

Given that the cost to mail one letter is 50 paise
Cost of mailing 87380 letters = 87380 x 50 paise = Rs. 43690
Therefore the amount spent when 8th set of letter is mailed is Rs. 43690

5
The Interest in first year = x Rs.10000 = Rs.500

th
The amount in 15 year = Rs.10000 + [Rs.500 + Rs.500 + Rs.500 + ….. 14 times ]
= Rs.10000 + 14 x Rs.500 = Rs.17000
Total Amount after 20 years = Rs.10000 + [Rs.500 + Rs.500 + Rs.500 + ….. 20 times ]
= Rs.10000 + 20 x Rs.500 = Rs.20000
7. A manufacturer reckons that the value of a machine, which costs him Rs.15625,

Given that machine depreciates by 20% every year
 The value of machine after every year is 80% of the original cost
4
 of the original cost.

dropped out on second day, 4 more workers dropped out on third day and so on. It took
8 more days to finish the work Find the number of days in which the work was
completed.
Sol.: Let x be the number of days in which 150 workers finish the work.
Given condition is 150 x = 150 + 146 + 142 + …….( x + 8) terms
The series 150, 146, 142, …….( x +8) terms are in A. P. with difference -4
n
a = 150, d = - 4, n = x + 8, We know that S n   2a   n  1 d 
2
x8
 150 x  [ 2 x 150 + ( x + 8 -1) x ( -4)]
2
 300 x = ( x + 8) (300- 4 x – 28)
 300 x = 272 x – 4 x 2 + 2176 – 32 x
 4 x 2 + 60 x – 2176 = 0
 x 2 + 15 x -544 = 0
 ( x + 32) ( x – 17) = 0
 x = -32 or 17
Here we consider x = 17 (because the no. of days can not be negative)
Therefore the no. of days in which the work was complete = (17 + 8) = 25.
